I think it’s only right that I post this to tumblr ar 3AM.
Most nights, I come home from work and get right into one of my side projects. I know I’m not the only one in this city stays up late working on a project. A few nights ago, I posted the following to tumblr: There should be a club/meetup in NY where night owls can get together in the dead of night and hack on their side projects. Any takers?
The city is a very quiet place in the middle of the night, but a few people did speak up to show interest. We shouldn’t be left to work alone in our apartments, or worse - to feel as though we are alone.
So, I’ve put up a page for the New York Nightowls, a late night co-working group. There’s no better place for this type of co-working group than New York. It’s something I’d be a part of, so I suspect there are others out there. From the NYNightowls website:
In the dead of the night, the city skyline is punctuated with lit windows. We like to think they’re people sitting in their apartments working on their side project or big idea.
If that sounds like you, and you want to participate, email me at hello@nynightowls.com. I’m collecting email addresses and gauging interest at this point. With enough participants, we could commandeer an office space that’s not being utilized at night.
Or - if you’re someone with office space who’s interested in hosting this kind of thing, let me know (hello@nynightowls.com).
And it’s official here in Stockholm too. We’re up and running, just awaiting final decision regarding location for first...
I think this is a genious way to take coworking spaces to the next level (timeslot). jonathanmarcus:
Definitely going to be part of this.

YES!!!! Is there anything like this in SF? I really want there to be. Preferably in the Mission.
This is so many reasons why I
